WK93185 - New Specification for Organic and Hydrocarbon Test Constituents for the Evaluation of Stormwater Treatment Devices

Work Item

ASTM WK93185

New Specification for Organic and Hydrocarbon Test Constituents for the Evaluation of Stormwater Treatment Devices

1. Scope

This specification covers the chemical composition, specific gravity, and particle size distributions (PSDs) of organic and hydrocarbon constituents to be used in the laboratory performance testing of stormwater filtration devices.

Keywords

load capacity; mass capacity; media longevity; media maintenance interval

Rationale

This specification is needed to replicate the clogging that stormwater filtration media experiences in urban environments. The specification is intended to be used in addition to E3317-22 and can aid in determining mass load capacity, longevity, and maintenance needs of stormwater filtration media. Users of the standard include researchers, academia, and manufacturers. AHJs may also require the standard to demonstrate filtration media can meet the expected maintenance intervals and achieve the expected long-term performance.
